Huge congrats, buddy!! 99 Smithing is a great achievement :D, you can make everything now haha. What were you making and how long did it take just for the last bit? I imagine you had some supplies saved up for this weekend. What else are you going to work on? Does it look like you're going to get a lot of playtime in this weekend :)? I remember looking forward to the bonus xp so much. It was a ton of fun. I hope you enjoy yourself <3. I'll talk to you later!

"Everybody want to be friends now, but not everybody been with me
Started with a couple hundred plays now, but not everybody saw this me
I seen it coming it was all or nothing, I knew the future gonna give me something."

Really appreciate all the comments guys, many thanks. Nitromaniac (a former Achievements CL if anyone else remembers him) told me about Superheating Rune bars which is what I spent the majority of time doing. Made a tidy profit because of all the Natures I already had stored courtesy of the Wicked Hood. I'll be honest though - I put 0 planning into this weekend. Bought all the Adamant bars that morning, haha. And same goes for the Teak planks today as I'm going to try and make the most of this to get ahead on Construction. Haven't been able to play as much as I hoped, what with having to babysit my sister and being back at work tomorrow. Whatever, I can still burn the midnight oil. Average bedtime is ~3AM so better to make those Driftwood Pawnbrokers than lying wide awake on my bed hoping to doze off at any moment lol.

By the way let's make this clear right now - no-one expect me to blitz my way to the top of the XP Competition leaderboard.
